So I'm going over to a friends house to setup his DSL... he currently has cable through adelphia. But adelphia blocks ports 80 and 21... so for ease of use Verizon dsl doesn't block anything, will make page hosting easier.

Yea 128k upload is not going to do mad page hosting... but some basic stuff.

Cable vs DSL..... we'll see who the winner is.... after these messages.

 

dsl

 

i've got 640kb dsl for 50/month... 1.5mbcable will be available end of july for 45/month.. guess what we're going to buy... i've gotta say the nice thick juicy fast lines of cable :thumbup:

 

speeds depend on different variables for each service

they shouldn't be compared

 

DSL's = :naughty:

 

certainly you can compare whats available in yer area and for what price.. like i've done.. which shows cable the best bang for the buck..

 

DSL ... you dont share bandwith. Cable allocates bandwith per block or something like that, and the more people that use the service, the slower it is for you. DSL allocates bandwith per phone number, and you dont share with anyone.

 

good thing about cable is its more available in more areas.. i just miss getting DSL, so we had to go with cable. but i like it, its fast enough for me

 

you do if you route it to 3 computers in one house lol.. and 640kb just isnt satisfactory anymore cause of it.. and the 1mb dsl is about 90/month...

 

well i have cable spilt to 4 PCs in my house

and on my current comp i get

"2352 Kbps - You"
